A bit more info would be nice... like what transport are you refering too... and if you can please be a bit more specific in describing your problem.

I created this a long time ago before the amigaguide existed, its my step by step guide of how to use jabberwocky, might be off some use to you...

well like I said, you need to be more specigic, Jabberwocky is a multi instant messanger client, each transport behaves differently... but if your not willing to go into more detail and be more specific then your unlikely to find any help.

I still think your description is fairly vague so I cant help you sorry.

However I will say this... Have you tried to read the manual? Its often very helpfull... Failing that have you looked at the prefs? See the option "Use msg window for Chat"... maybe, just maybe, if you change that it will work.... 8-)

Is Jabberwocky still compatible with MSN? And what others? I am interested to use it when i get connected. :-)

Well Jabber is all server side... All you have to do is use a jabber server which supports the transports you want... And yes most servers do support the new MSN protocol. You can also find transports for yahoo, AIM, ICQ and IRC...
